The '''Second Aegisine Crusade''' took place between 633-635.[[M39]] and followed the [[Aegisine Crusade]].{{Fn|1}}
==Overview==
The 2nd Aegisine Crusade was launched to reclaim the worlds of [[Dread Mandragora]] in 633.M39 after centuries of isolation due to [[Warp storm]]s. During the crusade, the [[Red Scorpions]] gained high honors for their role in the later phases of the crusade which re-conquered worlds around the former [[Sub-sector]] capital of [[Hecuba]]. These worlds had fallen under the rule of a [[Heretek|heretical Mechanicus sect]] based on the once-proud [[Forge World]] of [[Shaehol]]. The imposing defenses of Shaehol however did not deter the Red Scorpions, who spearheaded an orbital assault of the planet. Managing to establish a beachhead with [[Thunderhawk]]s and [[Caestus Assault Ram]]'s, the Red Scorpions defended tiself against vicious of counterattacks by corrupted [[Servitor]]s, frenzied [[Skitarii]], surgically enhanced [[Mutant]]s, dark war machines, and insane half-mechanical monstrosities. However they held the line, and were eventually reinforced by the [[Titan]]s of the [[Legio Tempestor]] and the [[Knight]] house of [[House Vymar]]. Backed by these mighty war machines, the Imperial forces finally achieved a breakthrough.{{Fn|1}}
The full re-conquest of the fallen Forge World would take a further two years to accomplish, with the dark [[Techpriest]]s of Shaehol eventually meeting their demise. The [[Adeptus Mechanicus]] has not forgotten the sacrifice the Red Scorpions undertook in the campaign and gave them full battle honors.{{Fn|1}}
